The Rutland Arms is always excellent with amazing vegan offerings. The Tramshed Kitchen is also lovely

Rick Stein - he’s down to earth and I’ve been inspired by his programmes.

What do you think of Sheffield as a place to eat out?

Sheffield’s food scene is thriving right now, and the vegan boom is brilliant! The city has lots more variety from Portugese Na Pedra, to events like Peddler and some fabulous independent restaurants and cafes - I’m excited to see what’s next.
